GE15: Some constitutional issues

Consequential changes have to be made to several laws to implement the much-celebrated Constitution (Amendment) Act 2019.

THE 15th General Election is due in 2023 but the Prime Minister may request it much earlier due to the government’s unstable situation in Parliament. The Yang di-Pertuan Agong has an undoubted discretion under the Constitution’s Article 40(2)(b) and Article 55(2) to grant or refuse consent to the early dissolution of Parliament.
